ATI HD4850 launched! Game and HD replay performances full analysis

[CvP]

Link.

Direct Link to some comparisons:
UT3.
CoD4.
Crysis.


Conclusion (by me):
It isn't worth the price. It hardly beats 8800GTS.
Moreove, now 9800GTX is ~200$ and 9800GTX+ is ~230$ if i'm not mistaking.

Well of course nvidia dropped the prices, it's not like they had any choice, the 9800gtx was completely trashed in price/performance by the 4850

Newegg has the 4850 for as little as 170$ & u still say its not worth the money?
It has Direct X 10.1 & Audio controller! nvidia still doesnt support it!

Every Ati Driver release brings in performance of about 10-20% in many games.
Wat about nvidia drivers?

[GiDDY_SOUL]

R these prices going to Drop in BD? UCC probably sell a 9800GTX for about 30,000tk?

[CvP]

well, as I said, it hardly beats (actually gets beaten by) 8800GTS let alone 9800GTX (sub 200$), 9800GTX+ (sub 250$) and GT260 (sub 300).
If nVidia didn't have these cards on the market AMD would have priced their 4850 at 350$.

nVidia cards are significantly faster out of the box.
may be ATi should try releasing a new driver everyday...!

[GiDDY_SOUL]

The gud thing AMD did was to price it 200$
If AMD would hav priced it 300$ then we would never hav seen these price drops!

how does 4850 fair with the newly priced $200 9800GTX ?

[GiDDY_SOUL]

I think a 4850 is a better choice for the same price. (Performes a bit better than 9800GTX and a bit slower than 9800GTX+)

I would pick a 4850 for these reasons:
1.Uses a single slot cooler
2.Uses a 55nm process
3.Consumes less power
4.Usually a 10%-20% performance increase after every driver Update
5.Supports Direct X 10.1
6.7.1 HDMI Audio

ha ha...4850 eats dust when competing with 9800GTX.
4850 can only be compared with 8800GTS or lower ones.

if you are a fan of "XXnm process", go for 9800GTX+; almost 20% performance increase with 55nm. but just remember, the raw performance is the most important thing. you should not care about what nm process or GDDR2/3/4/5 is used.

In These benchmarks.. Ati wins more than Nvidias 9800GTX!

4850 vs 9800GTX (chinese web)

4850 vs 9800GTX Legion Hardware

Wat so funny?

Source: hardware.fr

The 9800GTX eats dust when AA is enabled (I prefer to play games with 4xAA)

[CvP]

im confused! so 8800GTS is more powerful than 9800GTX+ ??!!!!

[GiDDY_SOUL]

Here is another review!
Techreport
The results posted above r from Catalyst 8.5 & techreports too r from 8.5
The chinese web has results from 8.6

Techreport has Assasins creed unpatched benchmark! Direct 10.1
With AA enabled It beats the GTX 260 and is equal match for GTX 280!

U were the One to confuse me!
I probably looked every benchmark of ati 4850 vs 9800Gtx on the web currently available.
The 4850 is a better buy even if U consider 9800GTX+

In Direct X 10.1 performance of ati card rocks with aa enabled!

[HeLL]deathknight]

I guess 4850 wins then.. but i don't think people here have monitors to enable AA or such high resos, to price/performance 4850 still beats the 9800GTXv1 or v2. I wonder what would the 4870 do ? when is it going to released ?

[HeLL]deathknight]

Hey lower resos ee who wins ?

[GiDDY_SOUL]

U dont need gud monitors to enable AA, but u do need one to play on Higher resolutions.

4870 may b released next month or August (Not really sure)

ATI is all time better grfix card than Nvidia. ami nije duita series use korsi. so ami jani kemon performance dey. Nvidia performance r tulonay price huge than ATI all time.

[ЯV●shafiee007]

umm....9800GTX-er konta $200.....can anyone give me a link to that model.....i need to know bout it quickly........

[HeLL]deathknight]

9800GTX $200 ache..you get it in www.newegg.com or tigerdirect.

But there is a price range..$200 eer cheo onek beshi ache.. depends on the specs. Jeigula base specs use kore is around $200 but jegula better like EVGA KO version is $209 since it has 100mhz more core clock and more memory clock

[ЯV●shafiee007]

well....new egg-e search korsilam but it was showing me the $230 ones.....
